I do have the recipe. But personally, I have not tried it yet. Its from my mom's big folder of cakes and pastries. I find it rather difficult. Difficult becoz I still consider myself as a novice in baking. All the recipes that I shared here are tried and tested and I know it works.

Method:
Beat optima flour, egg and ovalette on high speed until moussse like (able to hold on spoon when overturned)
Add 2 tsp pandan essence
Detach bowl from mixer and add in melted butter (can substitute with same amount of corn oil)
Bake at 170 deg or gas mark 7 for 35 min.

When cake is cooled, slice the cake into half

Kaya
Mix all the ingredient in a bowl, stir well and heat over low heat until jelly form

Assembling:

Spread some kaya in the middle layer of the cake
Pour the kaya in a measuring cup, slowly pour the kaya over the centre top of the cake, with the back of a soup scoup, spread the kaya over the cake in circular clockwise motion. Let the kaya drop naturally to the sides of the cake

You may want to decorate with dessicated coconuts on the sides of the cake.

Chill in fridge.

You can use your own spong cake receipe, just add pandan essence to make it green if you find troublesome to buy optima flour & ovalette.

If its too difficult to buy optima flour & ovalette, you can actually use the Prima premix for sponge cake, my friend tried and said result is about the same. Just make sure you add pandan essence into your cake mixture.

I think the key point for this cake is the kaya spread._________________karen

maybe you can try getting it from Phoon Huat stores. They will definitely have their own blend of Sponge cake mix. Or you can ask their sales assistants on what kind of flour you can use to make sponge cake.

My mum like pandan kaya cake, intend to make one for her this weekend. What is size of cake pan should i use? 20cm? 23cm?
If I use PH's sponge pre-mix, i will need to add pandan essence right?
I saw other recipe add pandan juice plus pandan essence, is pandan juice necessary for this case? please advise.

Jennifer, I used pandan paste instead of pandan essence in the spongecake mixture which I find is better._________________LeeLee
